IRISI paced in the living room as the vampire’s mate stared at me weirdly. I was too preoccupied by my own thoughts to register anything else. The scar on my palm still itched from having to use forbidden magic to buy My Lord’s daughter some time. I was hoping that she would’ve instead been able to reach her mate, but I was in no such luck since he’s been drugged.It’s been two days since that day and I’m growing impatient.“Iris, are you ok?” the caring voice asked me. I looked to the woman. For someone with so much power, she seems very fragile.“I’m fine,” I forced a smile. She raised an eyebrow but I just ignored her and continued to pace.“I’m pretty sure you’re achieving the impossible by wearing out my tiles Iris,” Silas’ voice wafted through the room.“Took you long enough,” I snapped at him.“I just woke up and now I’m being snapped at? My wonderful life,” he murmured.“Silas, you’ve been out for almost four days now,” I pointed out.“Gee, I guess Lia got her wish,” he chuck
LUCIASadness.Misery.Loathing.Murder.Longing.Love.Emptiness.I felt it all. I felt all intentions of murder. I wanted to murder everyone who had ever caused me pain; who had ever caused my family pain. I was alone and I hated every moment of it. I just wanted to be in Draco’s arms, knowing that our daughter was safe with her mate and family, but instead I’m stuck here by myself.My father has been relentless in his search for me. I’m slowly giving in and thinking about going back home. I know he will lock me up the moment he sets his eyes on me, but I will not go down without a fight. I had to do this.I crept out of my room and heard Dahlia laughing with Paxton upstairs. She’s been watching me like a hawk, so this was my opportunity. I left the house, and the moment I set foot outside the gate of the house, I was no longer under its protection and I was immediately taken to Lexius. I appeared in front of the Council of Higher Powers.“You don’t get tired of causing trouble do y
SILAS“Hypnosis would be a start, and then I would have to make a copy of your memories and find the one that has been spelled. Hopefully we can lift the spell from the memory,” she replied. Before I could say anything, someone nudged my link.“What is it Dahlia?” I asked as I opened my link to her.“Send Iris over to get us right now!” she commanded. Nikolas didn’t like it one bit.“I don’t have time for your control issues Silas! Just do as I say!” she snapped. I knew then that she was being dead serious.She’d called me Silas.“Iris, please fetch Dahlia. She and someone have to be brought here right now for some reason,” I sighed. Iris looked confused, but she obliged when Draco gave a slight nod.In mere seconds, my gold eyed best friend was before us with my son; my much older looking son.What the hell?“Paxton?” I called out.“It’s a long story! Right now, he’s the only one who can help you!” Dahlia rushed out.“Help me with what?” I raised an eyebrow, not understanding how my
XENIA“Excuse me?” I turned with a deadly glare. He immediately cowered while Skye and Angelina giggled in my mind. I almost copied them.“Guys!” I scolded them.“Sorry! He’s just really a pansy!” Angelina sighed.“My dad wants you in his office,” Donovan said nervously. Time to turn on the charm.“Don, are you really going to let your dad bully me like this? I just want to go for a walk,” I pouted.“Just a walk?” he asked.“Just a walk,” I nodded. He sighed heavily.“Ok, I’ll go stall him! Don’t take too long,” he warned.“I won’t,” I smiled before leaving. I didn’t bother kissing him either.“Don’t even think about it!” I told Angelina and Skye. I knew they were itching to laugh.“But...” they trailed off before laughing.“You guys are horrible,” I mumbled as we approached my father’s house.“Quite the stellar mate,” Angelina giggled.“Shut up,” I whined as the gate opened. Suddenly, I was hit with a rush of excitement, making me walk faster.“What’s going on?” Skye asked me.“I don
SILASI’d just gotten her back, only to be thrown into a whirlwind of action. I knew my trail of thought was selfish, but I mean I haven’t been with her for more than a month. Can anyone really blame me? I just want to have a day with no interruptions with my mate.Kieran, Dahlia, and I were transported back to earth while Angelina went to Lexius with Draco. We did not expect to come back to full blown panic as everyone ran around. Ria, as the Beta Female, was trying to get all the women and the children to safety.I was surprised more by the fact that everyone was in my house and not in the pack house.“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?” my voice boomed, making everyone stop.“Alpha, the vampires are attacking us,” one of the elder women said.“What now?” Kieran spoke up.“Didn’t you hear? Your Highness, your parents were murdered by werewolves, and the Werewolf Queen and King were murdered by vampires. There’s been fighting all over the world between the two sides,” a man stepped up.“What
ANGELINATo have been in Silas’ arms for such a short while had me on edge. I got him back only to have to give him up in order to save the world. That left me feeling rather grumpy. You put a grumpy and pissed off daughter next to her grieving and just as pissed off powerful father, and you have a team not to be messed with.“I really feel sorry for anyone who has to face your wrath up there,” Iris said, referring to Lexius.“They let her get killed. We’ve had enough of this! Our family has suffered enough at the hands of those people,” my dad growled.“Don’t worry sis, we’re going to kick their asses subtly,” I winked. She looked shocked.“Sis?” she whispered.“Well yeah! My dad loves you as though you’re his daughter and since he created you, you’re technically my sister,” I smiled, throwing my arm around her shoulder. My father smiled, realizing the truth behind my words.“My baby girls,” he said proudly.“Second time in my life,” Iris frowned as she looked at her fingers.“What?”
ANGELINA“I was kept a secret all this time until mom died,” she sobbed.“Did she know?” I asked. She shook her head.“She passed out when she gave birth to us. They let her send you away, and I was kept hidden from everyone,” she croaked. I couldn’t help but hug her then.“What’s your name?” I whispered.“Angelica,” she smiled.“That’s cool,” I giggled.“I know! I’ve wanted to meet you since I found out about you just a month ago,” she said sadly.“I don’t understand though. Who kept you all this time?” I asked.“The sisters of Time and Fate. All they ever told me was that they were keeping me for a great destiny, but they disappeared. I’ve been a lost soul since. I’ve avoided our grandfather because I’m not stupid enough to not know that he doesn’t like you much because of our dad. Oh goodness! Our dad! How is he? Is he a nice man?” she asked excitedly. Before I could reply, the man in question appeared before us.“Angelina, we have to go now,” he said. I made sure that Angelica’s b
ANGELINA“SILAS!” I all but screamed.“I’m here Angel! Sorry about that! Everyone is panicking from the tremors and the sky is turning as red as it is in the Underworld,” he replied. I sighed in relief.“And you? Do you feel any different?” I asked.“A little, but like more powerful more than anything. Krallion’s essence is fighting me though,” he said in confusion.“What do you mean?” I asked in my own confusion.“This is going to sound very strange, but his essence refuses to return to him,” he replied.“Iris, can Krallion’s essence refuse to go back to him?” I asked my sister.“It’s refusing?” her eyebrows shot up to her hairline. I nodded.“That isn’t supposed to be happening,” she panicked.“Well? What do we do now?” I asked.“I’m thinking,” she said as she paced the room. Angelica looked lost and I couldn’t blame her. She was voluntarily giving blood for a cause she had no idea about.“Angel?” Silas linked.“I’m here! We’re trying to figure out why his essence won’t leave him,”
ANGELINA“BEST WEDDING OF THE MILLENIUM.”They said.“YOU WONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT A THING.”They said.“WE’LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.”They said.“YOU CAN TRUST US.”They said.And now...MY WEDDING DRESS IS MISSING!“Lina has to walk down the aisle in the next hour! Her hair and make-up are done. Anyone mind explaining to me WHERE THE HELL HER WEDDING DRESS IS?” my twin sister roared, eyes literally blazing.“Calm down baby,” Krallion sighed. She gave him the ‘don’t you start with me’ look.You see, at this point in time, I just sat on my bed, watching the chaos unfold. It’s my wedding day and nothing seems to be going right. My sisters have been planning this day since the twins were born.They sent out invites and it honestly is the biggest wedding I know of. More than five thousand people are expected to attend, and that’s just the werewolves. There are about four thousand vampires attending. In the past six months, Silas and I have made a lot of acquaintances.“How are you so c
SILAS“Daemons?” Angelina offered.“Ah, that would explain it. Daemonic pregnancies are not painful at all,” he informed.“Really?” Angelina and I asked.“Yep! We’ve never understood it, but it’s always been that way. Anyway, let’s get you sorted out. I’ll get Julia to come and attend to you,” he smiled. Julia is the gynaecologist here.“Thanks,” I said before we were lead to a room. I helped her change out of her gown into the hospital dress.“Si, where are you guys?” Kieran linked me.“Doctor’s quarters,” I replied.“What’s wrong?” my best friend panicked.“Nothing much! Angelina’s about to give birth,” I chuckled.“AND YOU DON’T SAY ANYTHING?” he shouted.“Calm down leech! We wanted to be alone for this one,” I laughed.“You sure?” he asked.“Yeah, we are! We’ll tell you as soon as we’re ready to let you see the kids,” I replied before shutting him out as Julia walked into the room.“Alphas,” she bowed respectfully.“Hello Julia,” we both replied.“Well, let’s see what’s going on,
SILAS“Would you stop pacing already?” Angelina groaned.“I can’t help it! I’m freaking nervous!” Dahlia snapped.“I’m pretty sure all this pacing isn’t good for you in any way,” I added.“I’m pretty sure I’m very close to killing you both! You’re not helping me right now!” Dahlia whined before sitting down.It’s been two months since the big incident and not a lot has happened as such. Leila gave birth to a baby boy and they named him Kailin Luca Knight. Hayden adopted his last name, but chose to keep the name Hayden.He and Leila got married soon after the birth of their son and things in their pack have been going smoothly. They changed the name of the pack to the Red Moon Pack. They all wanted a new beginning, so they welcomed the change.Azuela, Dahlia, and Angelina are due to give birth any time now. Today however, is the inauguration of the Royals. They were officially taking up their roles as the Kings and Queens of their respective kingdoms. The Councils gave us two months’ w
ANGELINA“I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!” Troy shouted.“I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN!” Ria shouted back.“UH, I LOVE RIA AND I CANNOT LIE!” he shot back.“YOU’D BETTER!” my best friend shouted while we all laughed at a suddenly flustered Troy.We decided on having a bonfire instead of a dinner. Everyone had settled into our home and we were all just looking forward to a peaceful night. I looked around me and smiled as I watched everyone with their mates. My sisters in particular made me really smile. Krallion is such a big softie when it comes to Iris and I, it’s not even funny.Chen had been looking very disorientated and I was worried. Iris didn’t seem bothered by this. In fact, she looked amused by the fact that he was disorientated. Something told me I would love finding out why he was like that and that’s exactly what I did.“Chen, what’s wrong?” I asked him.“It’s nothing,” he whispered. He really looked traumatized.“Aw, come on babe, tell them how you pissed in your pants
IRIS“I do, but I have my conditions that I will discuss with the Council later. Right now I just want to be with my family,” my father replied as Lucia began stirring.“So, I have two daughters?” she whispered as she took in the twins.“Well three when you count Isis,” Angelina smiled. There was silence for a while.“I can live with that,” Lucia smiled before opening her arms up for us. I didn’t hesitate joining the family hug.“What about Axel and Isak?” Silas asked.My father shrugged. “They’re Krallion’s responsibility now.”“Uhm hun, could you perhaps turn the sky back to its normal colour?” Angelica asked Krallion since the sky was still dark, but not like night dark.“Not in this state. The earth sky will affect me,” Krallion responded.“Don’t you have a human transition?” Chen asked him.“No,” Krallion replied.“Daddy?” Angelica looked to him pleadingly.“I don’t know how to do it,” my father admitted, biting his lip. I knew he was thinking hard.“Just think about a human form
IRISBefore anyone could do or say anything, two really bright lights appeared before us. We all shielded our eyes from it. When they had died down, we looked up to find two women staring at all of us. They looked exactly alike, without a difference in place.“Celestina! Celeste! Where have the two of you been?” Axel demanded.“Calm down Axel! Things had to happen this way without any of you being able to find us. It’s been a long time coming, and now things are about to change!” Celeste spoke up before Kree appeared next to them.I frowned. “Kree?”“Hello child,” she smiled.“Kree here is the new Higher Power of Magic. She has a successor here on earth, whom she will watch over. When he reaches the right age, he will become the Great Witch,” Celestina said.“A male Great Witch? Is that even possible?” Troy asked.“It is the way it will be. Since that is the future, we will now address the present. Axel, you have been stripped of all your power as the Creator! You are no longer worthy
DRACOIsak and I have fought side by side in our daemon forms too many times to not know what moves the other would pull on the other. It was almost predictable really. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my twins both begin to glow. Iris was trying to calm them both down as they both started shaking violently. I was instantly even more worried than before.I didn’t even think it was possible.“You’re not meant to be a family man Draco, and yet you hid your mate and your children from me,” Isak spat.I scoffed. “Because you deserved to know right?”“I was your best friend and you kept this from me!” he roared.“Someone’s being quite the girl,” I heard Kieran mumble, making me chuckle.“You’re truly insane bud. You claim to be this mighty best friend and yet you’re the one who wants my head on a platter as we speak!” I spat maliciously.“DAD, SOMETHING’S HAPPENING,” Iris shouted.Just then, the ground started to shake so violently that all fighting ceased. The skies had thunderstorms be
DRACOI was pacing in my dungeon, wondering what was going on with my daughters, until I remembered that Angelina had said that Isak was keeping Lucia’s body in his house. Even though I’d begun to mourn her death, I could feel that she wasn’t dead, or at least not yet. I teleported myself to the traitor’s house and was surprised to find it empty.I went in search of my mate’s body as I followed instinct through the house. I was wary when I found her body in his office. Something about this scene just felt too easy. Her body was pale and I immediately noticed the dagger in her heart. It was the Dagger of Immobility. It temporarily caused death, and the only person who could remove it is the person who put it there.“I knew I should’ve killed you when I had the chance,” the voice said behind me.I knew that voice too well not to know who it was. I wasn’t about to entertain the person, so I grabbed my mate and teleported us to the safest place I could think for us both. Fate must be funn
ANGELINA“SILAS!” I all but screamed.“I’m here Angel! Sorry about that! Everyone is panicking from the tremors and the sky is turning as red as it is in the Underworld,” he replied. I sighed in relief.“And you? Do you feel any different?” I asked.“A little, but like more powerful more than anything. Krallion’s essence is fighting me though,” he said in confusion.“What do you mean?” I asked in my own confusion.“This is going to sound very strange, but his essence refuses to return to him,” he replied.“Iris, can Krallion’s essence refuse to go back to him?” I asked my sister.“It’s refusing?” her eyebrows shot up to her hairline. I nodded.“That isn’t supposed to be happening,” she panicked.“Well? What do we do now?” I asked.“I’m thinking,” she said as she paced the room. Angelica looked lost and I couldn’t blame her. She was voluntarily giving blood for a cause she had no idea about.“Angel?” Silas linked.“I’m here! We’re trying to figure out why his essence won’t leave him,”
